conflict
★★★★
🇺🇸 /kˈɑnflɪkt/
🇬🇧 /ˈkɔn.flɪkt/
conflict 主要表示不同的人、群体或要求彼此相撞、对立，也可表示这种对立本身，或日程等安排互相冲突。
💡 记忆钩子
把 conflict 想成“两股力量迎面相撞”：人和群体相撞，就是冲突或争端；两件要求、计划碰到一起无法同时实现，就是矛盾或时间冲突。作动词时，则表示双方彼此不合，或两项安排发生重叠。
📝 学习建议
- 学习时先掌握“人或群体之间的冲突”，再扩展到“计划、要求等彼此不相容”的抽象用法。
- 不要把 conflict 只理解成武装冲突；它也常用于意见不合、利益对立和日程安排重叠。
📖 中文释义
noun
-
core 冲突；对立；争端📖 指两个或多个彼此对立的人、群体或势力发生的冲突，可以是意见、利益上的对抗，也可以发展成暴力争斗。重点是双方像迎面相撞一样无法和平共处。💡 常用结构是“the conflict between A and B”或“armed conflict”，前者说明冲突双方，后者特指武装冲突。conflict 可指一场具体冲突，也可泛指冲突状态；不要默认它一定涉及战争或暴力。countable uncountableThe conflict between the two communities lasted for years.这两个社区之间的冲突持续了多年。The new policy caused a conflict between workers and managers.新政策引发了工人和管理层之间的冲突。
-
core 不相容；安排冲突📖 指两件事、两项要求或两个安排碰到一起，不能同时实现或进行。它不一定有人争吵，而是像两条路在同一时间占用了同一个位置。💡 常用结构是“a conflict between A and B”或“a conflict in my schedule”，表示两项活动、责任或要求无法兼顾。涉及日程时，conflict 通常表示时间重叠，不要误解为人与人发生争执。countable uncountableThere is a conflict in my schedule on Friday afternoon.我的日程在周五下午有冲突。

verb
-
core 与……不合；与……冲突📖 指某人、某团体、观点或目标彼此对立、不一致，无法顺利共存。它是名词“冲突”变成动作或状态的用法。💡 常用结构是“conflict with someone”或“conflict with an idea”，介词通常用 with，不能说成直接“conflict someone”。主语可以是人、观点、利益或政策，语气常比普通的“不赞同”更强。intransitiveHer personal values conflict with the company's policy.她的个人价值观与公司的政策相冲突。The two witnesses' accounts conflict with each other.两名证人的说法彼此矛盾。
-
common 时间冲突；安排重叠📖 指两个活动或安排在同一时间发生，因而不能同时参加或完成。这是“彼此撞在一起”在日程上的具体用法。💡 常用结构是“the meeting conflicts with my appointment”或“X conflicts with Y”，主语是相互重叠的活动或安排。谈日程时也常用名词结构“a conflict in my schedule”；不要把这种用法理解为活动之间发生争吵。intransitiveThe interview conflicts with my dentist appointment.面试和我的牙医预约时间冲突。
